about 1854</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV id=RTEContent>I have no information on Thomas or Oscar Hayter, but
suspect from the following two biographies that Washington L. Hayter is the
brother of Thomas Hayter. What's interesting is that in the second account,
the name is HOYT or HOYTE rather than HAYTER. Perhaps the missing census
records are under this spelling.<BR><BR>
<DIV class=MsoNormal><B>HAYTER, Washington L</B>., was born in Howard Co.,

In September 1854, and came to Coos Co, in September 1865. He first settled
on Fishtrap, then moved to the Gruber place in 1866 and then in 1897 he
moved near Arago, where he now resides. His wife’s maiden name was Sarah C.

<DIV class=MsoNormal><SPAN> </SPAN>Alva LEE remained with his
parents until he was nineteen years of age. He spent his early boyhood
working upon his father’s farm and gained a detailed knowledge of modern
agricultural methods. He because thoroughly acquainted with the various
duties incident to the cultivation of a farm. When he was nineteen years of
age he went into the logging camps of northern
<ST1:STATE><ST1:PLACE>Oregon</ST1:PLACE></ST1:STATE> and worked in the
timber lands in the employ of others for six years. He spent seven years in
ranching and later took up steamboat freighting on the
<ST1:PLACE><ST1:PLACENAME>Coquille</ST1:PLACENAME>
<ST1:PLACETYPE>River</ST1:PLACETYPE></ST1:PLACE>. He followed this line of
occupation for a number of years and gained a gratifying degree of success.
When his father died Mr. LEE returned to the old homestead and took acti ve
charge of the management and cultivation of the three hundred and ninety-six
acres. He does general farming and his early experience is a valuable asset
to him. He specializes in dairying and keeps twenty-five cows of the highest
grade for this purpose. He as one hundred and forty acres under cultivation
and is constantly extending the field of his activities. His farm is
situated two and one half miles up the south side of the North fork and is
